Default brick seats

Im not one to complain about the comforts of a truck, its a mans rig and should ride like one, i have had dodges from a 1970 power wagon, an 1985 power ram and a 1997 12valve. Now im driving this 04 dodge 3500 and the seat kills my back, i just dont understand why? its the worst seat i have ever sat in, i would give anything to feel the feeling of my old 12valve seats. does anyone else have this issue? i bought my truck used with 50k and i think that a fat guy had driven it b4 me cause the seats like sunk into the floor and the pass seat seams to be fine, so anyway short story long, what can i do to make my seat more comfortable? buy new seats from a luxury model dodge? or just get some kinda foam insert? also does anyone else have this issue with their seat knotting up their lower back?

I thought my 03's seats were bad until... I rode for a ways in my buds 06! They are the worst hands down. Some guys have taken seats outa grand cherokees and swapped the seat frames on them.

i was thinking....maybe putting my seats from a 98 grand chearokee in! they are like the nicest seats i have ever sat in, i have one set thats black too. i drove over 200,000 miles in them and love the **** out of them, wonder how hard it would be to do and what it would look like, cause i do love the way my interior looks now just not diggin the lowe back pain im getting, hope its not a sighn of getting old!

I feel your pain!! my truck seat is down to the metal frame on the left side! I heard they used some really crappy faom that just falls apart. Another dodge part that was made in Tiawan. Get a can of expanding foam and fill the seat where you need it!

I guess I'll look for a set of 08 seats!! Maybe they learned by so many people complaining!! I was just kidding about the foam! Find a good shop that does seat rebuilds and hand them the brick seat!
